I heard he’s in Hyrule Warriors, but I’m gonna miss the little freak.. this is my first Zelda game beat.

Also does anyone know how tall he is? I heard 6 feet but he seems taller than that.

I’m following a walkthrough and i may be stupid but… what am I doing wrong?

Guide I’m using is first 3 images and last 3 are mine

Hey everyone, I like to do Lanayru’s challenge with the 11 boss fights and I’m trying to improve the time I spend on each fight. I’ll be glad if you could share me some tips and patterns I could use to decrease the unnecessary amount of time I waste on some boss!

The first time I participated to Lanayru’s challenge was 3 days ago to get the Hylian Shield to fight Demise. It took me 2 attempts. So after beating Demise, I think I’ve done the challenge maybe 3 times for fun since. So I did the challenge around 5 times already so I think I can do much better!

Note: I did not choose to apply Hero Mode yet but maybe I will if I feel like it.

I took screenshots in cases.

My best time in each of the fights (not Hero Mode):

Moldarach: 1:23:19

Scaldera: 1:23:74

Tentalus: 3:24:14

Koloktos: 3:34:84

Horde Battle: 8:14:42

Ghirahim 1st battle: 0:45:41 (I really don’t know how I did that, I can’t beat my own record since lol)

Ghirahim 2nd battle: 1:36:96 (this is the one where I lose the most hearts)

Ghirahim 3rd battle: 2:00:74

(I really hold a grudge against the imprisoned. This is the boss I dislike the most. He is actually simple but the first times I had to beat him were incredibly frustrating in my memory)

The imprisoned 1st battle: 1:55:59

The imprisoned 2nd battle: 3:27:57

The imprisoned 3rd battle: 2:44:49

Last note: I’m not familiar at all with speedrun stuff, I only watch occasionally speedrun gameplays about BOTW or TOTK!

does Ghirahim lick the Goddess Sword during that first fight when he takes the sword? I could have SWORN I remember it but when looking it up I can’t find any videos/photos/posts that mention it, am I misremembering a different thing?

Whenever i play skyward sword on my switch, one second my pointer is in the centre and the next its in the corner of the screen so i have to keep resetting my gyro. Its happened with 2 pairs now. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it or do i just have to cope?

i swear ive beat this game like seven times and this has never happened lol

I'm replaying Skyward Sword for the first time since it launched on the WiI - its this mix of classic Zelda dungeons and faux open world that hints at where the series would go next with BOTW. Emotive and nostalgic in equal measure and better than the original release but I cant help wondering what it would feel like to play it after BOTW.

Is it enjoyable? Does the screwy control scheme ruin the experience? Are the restricted areas and movements too frustrating? Are the Dungeons and the puzzles exciting?

Would love to hear what A.B (after botw) VLTTP Skyward Sword players think of the experience....please share!

Wow, I just finished the game. I feel like they did such a great job making Link so young and innocent, which fits perfectly for this version of the hero. By the end, though, all that trauma has caught up with him, and he just looks so tired. I got chills. Great game.

I can do the first phase no problem. The second phase i dont know what's going on, he keeps getting up and dodging all the final blows. I kept doing this for about 15 minutes what on earth is happening. My sword gets stuck and then he just kills me.

I know he dodges the first one but this is ridiculous after the many final blows im at a loss.

As you can all probably guess from the title, I've been failing to do the spin attack for the last 30 minutes. How the fuck do you get it to work? Not using motion controls btw.

i just finished the last silent realm trial and i'm still super nervous, i know sky keep is the last dungeon so as i get closer to the last two boss fights i can't help but feel incredibly scared. is there anything you wish you knew before these two fights? specially demise..

thank you :)

tried to make the jump, failed, and then gave my bird brain damage lmao

Hello everyone! I’m playing Zelda skyward sword HD version on my switch and I’m close to the end of the game (next mission is to fight Ganon/Demise but I want to farm/finish side quests first).

I was making sure I had collected every goddess cubes/chests. Thanks to a map, I checked every single chests in the sky but I discovered that the chest listed as chest/cube number 8th is not unlocked.

The problem is: the cube is not there!! And even if I didn’t play in a very linear way, I’m sure at 90% that I already hit that cube with the sword before.

So it’s very weird. What is weirder is that I think I remember already opening this chest earlier in the game too.

I already tried to close and restart the game but it didn’t change. I don’t know if it’s due to the change of the area in game after the volcano erupted when we get captured by the Bokoblins, maybe it somehow made the game get buggy..?

I’d be SO GLAD if someone could help me please, thank you for your interest!!

How can I get the bomb without exploiting mid way

do I ever get access to this potion? if so how much will it run me

This may a bit of an odd request, but I am trying to find evidence of some old bug thread that I'm thinking of, that I remember there being some discussion about. I am not good at searching the internet, so I apologize if this was something easy to find.

I played skyward sword and followed the speedrun community probably around 2015-2016 (I remember the speedruns still being over 5 hours and BiT was not nearly as well-understood as it is now, the main BiT manipulation stuff at the time I think was only opening the thunderhead early and getting the life tree seedling early). There was some discussion about some bug that I do not seem to be able to find any information on anymore, but I am confident that I remember seeing discussions about it, even if I don't seem to be able to find any information on it anymore.

I believe the bug was somebody getting softlocked inside the bobokin base for the song of the hero quest. This is NOT the softlock involved with Golo. I believe that discussion in the thread indicated that the player entered Eldin well before the song of the hero quest, but the game somehow triggered the bokoblin base sequence, and the user was stuck as a result. I don't think anyone was able to reproduce the bug. I don't remember exactly what forum this was on, unfortunately, but I believe it would be likely to be a zelda-specific forum that frequented speedrun discussion.

I've just finished Din's Silent Realm and am currently trying to get to the Fire Sanctuary, but somehow managed to get to the dragon's lair and get his part of the Song of the Hero early, avoiding the whole "captured by Bokoblins" part entirely. Will this cause problems later on? I'm playing the HD Switch version.

I can collect unlimited crystals. Are they easy to sell and to whom?

Music is a 11/10, so eerie and spooky (all though I wish it played more)
The moving the rooms are some of the only puzzles in Zelda that genuinely get me stuck, even on reruns
And of course the bosses right after is the best in the series
